Jean Portante on the American anti-terrorist struggle

Jean Portante, writer and journalist from Luxembourg, considers the anti-terrorist struggle lead by the United States over five years. "September 11th allowed White House strategists to add a military option to their economic appetites? The whole, disguised as merciless struggle against the dark forces represented in the form of an 'axis of evil' identified among the most radical Islamic fundamentalists. Rarely has such a rift been seen between intentions and the ideology they are cloaked in. In a few years, George Bush has dilapidated the capital sum of sympathy regarding the victims of the World Trade Centre. This is the most insidious collateral damage made by a whole series of damaging decisions, causing the world to be globally experiencing, on this fifth anniversary of the New York tragedy, structural insecurity that has been unseen since 1945".
